A Thousand Words
“He only has 1000 words left to discover what matters the most.”
Jack McCall is a fast-talking literary agent, who can close any deal, any time, any way. He has set his sights on New Age guru Dr. Sinja for his own selfish purposes. But Dr. Sinja is on to him, and Jack’s life comes unglued after a magical Bodhi tree mysteriously appears in his backyard. With every word Jack speaks, a leaf falls from the tree and he realizes that when the last leaf falls, both he and the tree are toast. Words have never failed Jack McCall, but now he’s got to stop talking and conjure up some outrageous ways to communicate or he’s a goner.
This film feels like a frantic, heartwarming race against silence. It's a high-concept comedic fable, blending broad humor with moments of genuine reflection on communication and presence. Expect a silly, yet ultimately moralistic journey about finding your voice when you literally can't speak.
